We use BBMS and would like to be able to customize default gift amounts while allowing for recurring donations. Please look into making this available to everyone and not just those using the Blackbaud DAF. This is a big deal for us and will be a motivator to use another crowdfunding platform if we cannot have the flexibility we need.

Hi Stephanie, I'm sorry that this has not been replied to for some time. It seems that campaigns are needed some campaign customisation. especially for preferred amounts. I will raise this with the Campaigns team in order to prioritise the feature accordingly.

in the mean time there are a few suggestions.

1) We do offer a free fully customisable product called 'Giving Checkout' where you can create multiple checkouts ( a bit like campaigns) and edit the amounts, add text prompts, add branding and keep track of donations in real time in the charity account area.

https://www.justgiving.com/charities/giving-checkout

This is accessbile in the UK + IE, US (DAF), AU, and NZ, please feel free to give it a try!

2) you can use what we call 'deep links' these are customisable parameters that can edit the checkout experience and that you can then share with your donors.
an example of one is here

https://link.justgiving.com/v1/campaign/donate/campaignGuid/b3e2ea1e-7520-49c5-ab50-66f7255ca774?SuggestedAmounts=12&SuggestedAmounts=13&SuggestedAmounts=14&SuggestedAmounts=16&SuggestedAmounts=18

you can get your campaignGuid code, but either contacting support or letting me know your campaign page and I could find that for you. by changing the suggested amounts after the '?' you quickly change edit the suggested amount boxes

I hope this helps for now until we scope and prioritise some future plans to get some campaign customisations!

YES. This is such an easy fix and is a serious product flaw.

So, it appears this has been suggested now for almost 3 years. How long does it take and how many votes are required. To not be able to customize is a terrible fundraising practice!!

This should be a relatively easy fix, even if we are limited to a menu of 3-4 fixed options. So PLEASE developers consider the value to Blackbaud of encouraging higher donation amounts (since you collect a percentage of contributions). For a major fund drive, we need denominations in the following amounts:

$25

$100

$500

$1,000

$5,000

$10,000

+ (other $ amount)

So our sending a link with teeny funding denomination amounts to major donors actually undercuts our outreach. Thanks for considering this fix.

Agreed! This should absolutely be an option to correlate with campaign specific price points.

YES! It's annoying that this isn't an option, especially if we're asking people to donate a certain amount. This should be a no-brainer!
